[ Video turns on. Don't worry, this will be brief, City. ]

In honor of the united effort that is being made to combine each of our respective manpower into an organized, collaborative effort, and as a follow-up to my words at last night's event, I wanted to announce that for the next two weeks, I personally am opening up Avengers membership to those who have wanted to dedicate themselves to helping the City and its people, but lacked the individual resources to do so.

Even those who may not be suited for the regular offensive (or defensive, as the case may be) conflicts that the team ordinarily handles may still wear the title of Honorary Avenger, because I, Norman Osborn -- and my team -- fully support and encourage every effort, even from those of you who make a difference on a smaller, or perhaps less noticeable scale. This doesn't even have to be a long-term commitment [ he pauses ] though it's not out of the question, if everyone is happy with the arrangements as they are; just an outreach to strengthen our own community in these unsettling times.

Thank you, and God bless.

Apologies for my absence; I'm sure we have much to still go over about your membership, don't we? Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Has Victoria given you a tour of the Tower?

[ ENCRYPTED to Dr. Horrible ]

Doctor. I hear you've expressed interest in becoming an Avenger, as well? I'm willing to offer you a chance, if that wasn't already made clear: though I'm curious about what skills you have beyond R&D.

[ ENCRYPTED to Invincible ]

I heard you had a concern. How may I address that?

(OOC: The responses from all interested parties regarding membership will be automatically encrypted; just procedure, of course.)

[He's a little confused at first, but suspects what it may be about. STILL...]

I'm not sure what you mean?

I was under some impression that you always had membership open. You seemed to constantly be taking in more members.

Perhaps I was just confused.

Victoria mentioned a conversation. I figured I would let her hold onto the details and ask you myself.

Indeed, it is always open. However, ordinarily, members are recruited by invite only.

That would be the difference then. I simply wanted to clarify that for my own curiosity.

[That should teach him. Give him a minute.]

It wasn't really a concern. More of a curiosity.

I'm happy to clarify. I can see how it may not be clear.

Are you sure this is a good idea? What if they're going to cause a security breach?

[ *CREEEEEEEEEPS* ]

Is it really? Well, fire away. Unless you'd rather discuss this curiosity in person.

"And God bless"? Laying on a bit thickly, aren't you?

They won't all have access to the Tower. I'm not stupid.

Hm.

I never implied you were, Mr. Osborn. However, it was a concern I thought necessary to question.

No doubt that sentiment will be echoed, by the competition, before a slew of less polite sentiments.

[saying it's not that big a deal wouldn't be completely true because, well. It was a huge deal for Nico. *osmosis???*]

I wouldn't mind either way.

[some warm laughter]

God bless? Isn't that laying it on a bit thick?

[ooc: LMAO - apparently she's not the only one.]

And the bearing of said honorary title is worth what, exactly?

So I was just walking by the neighborhood and saw this offer to be a temporary member of the Avengers.

But it could just be a wild and crazy rumor.

Is that interest?

Because it still means they're involved in something larger than themselves. When we work as a community, we get more accomplished.

You think so?

Of course it is, Mister Osborn. If you don't mind me double-dipping, that is.

A little. You're not trying to win a public vote, you're recruiting for what is essentially a vigilante group.

If that's the case, I encourage it. If they're going to waste time being petty, that's all the more I can accomplish in the meanwhile.

[Can't currently comment, but is watching this.]
